Try:

$ product install *

in the directory where the PCSI kit(s) are installed. A menu will allow you to pick which PCSI kit you wish to install. I don't have the CSWB kit handy, but I suspect a command like:

$ product install CSWB-V0107-13-1

might work, without recourse to the instructions above. I prefer to use the wildcard myself, and not try to guess how I might need to qualify the PRODUCT command to get it to install the kit.

I wonder if PRODUCT INSTALL is "smart" enough to realize that you need a minimum of V7.3-2 to run CSWB, and is refusing to install it.

Of course, if that is the case, a slightly more informative error message would be "nice".

you need to download the latest PCSI patch kit so that .PCSI$COMPRESSED files are recognised.

...nothing, sits there for almost 40 minutes.

I know that Jensen is slow as hell, but not THAT slow!

Any help appreciated.

No more VAX hobbyist licenses. Community licenses for Alpha/IA64/X86_64 VMS Software Inc. Commercial VMS software licenses for VAX available from HPE.

Just re-visiting.. No more hobbyist licenses? Is that from vmssoftware.com, no 'community' licenses?

At one time, didn't this web site have a job board? I would love to use my legacy skills one last time in my career.
